Do all Blind people think the same? (youtu.be)

The same as what? I started to watch this, and it ended up being some kind of realityTV like show where they ask questions to some well known or famous blind people- I assume to pass off their thoughts and feelings as "how blind people think".
I really don't understand your reason for posting this here.
Edit; To the people suggesting that I am somehow losing my cool over this. No, I'm perfectly calm. But clickbait-y things like this do annoy me.
And, to make the assumption that any group of people all think the same way is just stupid, and shows a lack of understanding of other people (as a whole), and to me seems really childish and immature.

These people represent us whether we like it or not, and their celebrity status helps to create interest in the video.
The title is stupid yes, but it's actually a series where every video is titled like this an examines different groups. Eye catching titles are a staple of social media, vital for driving views, and don't necessarily represent the content of the post or video.
I really think you should give this another chance. As some of the questions posed were genuinely quite well researched I think and many very important things were explained in the answers.
If you find this cringy that's okay, but stuff like this works much better than fighting disinformation one post at a time and can have a not insignificant social impact which can help us in the longrun. Besides, I've seen far worse things like this and I think they did well, especially by including audio description.

It's just a video calm down.

This is actually more interesting than I thought it would be and made me think a bit about how I feel about these things VS these people.
Some of the questions were quite good, and they gave them a platform to explain some very important things. This kind of stuff is good for us even if it can be a bit cringy at times. Much better than trying to fight disinformation one social media post at a time...
I liked the audio description too.
IMO you guys should give this a chance and not just judge based on the first minute or because of the people who they chose. The title is at first pretty stupid, but this is an entire series with every video prefixed by does X group all think the same? Eye catching titles are vital for views, and don't necessarily represent the content of the video.

Hell no. I find most blind people a total bore.
Winnmark 2 points 2y ago
Same.
I only have 2 blind friends that, in turn, don't actually have blind friends.
It can be difficult to find competent and socially adept blind people. I feel like that's easier to do online.

I'd so love to start a thread on that but I have a feeling it might get a bit political.

This a thousand times over. Then again it seems as though society as a whole is on a crusade against individualism.

This is dumb as fuck. Good job.
Superfreq2 1 points 2y ago
So you think that the wider public learning about legit issues from the mouths of those who face them and posed in an honest and in depth way is dumb as fuck?
Drunken_Idaho 1 points 2y ago
Thinking that any group of people all have the same opinion is kinda dumb, yeah. Not a personal attack or anything. I'm not saying you yourself are dumb, just this post topic.
No group is a monolith..

Right, but that's just the name of the video. It's meant to drive clicks. But the actual video it's self is very useful IMO.
I don't particularly agree with that choice either, but that's just how it works on social media unfortunately.
